Snow on Sunday morning

It snowed all day yesterday but it was wispy and blowing around and so didn’t settle. By the evening though the freezing temperature had allowed it to settle. I took a photo from our front window of our vans during the evening.

Our vans last night

We must have had more snow during the night because this was the same view this morning.

The garden table by our back door

I measured the snow on this table and it was two inches.

The garden has disappeared under the snow

The table next to the chicken run

The chicken’s water was frozen so I took it indoors and defrosted it under the hot tap. The chicken’s automatic door hadn’t opened because the snow on their patio roof had made it really dark. I let the girls out then dug the run over as it was covered in snow.

I left the chicken shed door open but the girls wouldn’t come to the patio area as it was too dark and they headed for the small shelter.

I got the step ladder out and cleared the patio roof as best as I could to let in some light. Once it was light the girls came to the patio area and had a good scratch about in the chicken shed.

By late morning there was some sunshine and everything was starting to thaw.

Signs of spring underneath the snow

The snow was dropping away and revealing spring flowers underneath. The problem now is that it is forecast to drop in temperature to minus one by four o’clock this afternoon and the remaining snow will freeze.

We will have to be really careful on the paths but tomorrow it is due to start warming up again. Hopefully this will mean that the remainder of the snow will disappear tomorrow and we can get back to normal again.

I really hope this is the last of it for this year. I am sure that we are all saying roll on spring!
